LDAP is a directory access protocol. SSH is a secure remote login
protocol (etc.). This is like asking, "possibly looking to buy a Nissan
Sentra, and are wondering about gaps that still leaves us with and if
buying a new chess set would help?"

How do you view these things as related/complementary in your environment,
and how do you think a failing in LDAP will be "covered" by using SSH?
